Lamprey, known as the 'zombie fish', has been extinct in the UK for 200 years. However, it was found that lamprey reappeared in the local rivers in the UK recently, which made many people feel quite incredible. Environmental protection groups said that the rapid development of British industry and the construction of dams led to serious river pollution, which led to its extinction.

Taiwan's Dongsen news cloud quoted the daily mail of Britain on September 7 as saying that lampreys are prehistoric creatures, which appeared earlier than dinosaurs. They look like snakes and have numerous sharp teeth on their mouths. They have high nutritional value and can provide food for birds and fish. They are also a favorite food of human beings. The earliest record of it in England is from King Henry I. It is said that he liked eating lampreys very much, but he didn't die because he ate too much. However, historians have different opinions, saying that the king's death should be caused by food poisoning.
Later, because of the industrial revolution polluting the river channel and building a large number of dams, lampreys were extinct in Britain for 200 years. Simon toms, a fisheries expert at the environment agency, said that river pollution in the UK in recent years had dropped to the lowest level in 100 years, and the improvement in water quality may be the reason for its reappearance. Conservation efforts will be strengthened in the future, including the removal of artificial barriers that hinder them.

Lamprey, also known as Octopus eel and qixingzi, is an ancient fish of the order lamprey of cephalosporidae. It is distributed in the Arctic Ocean waters, including the Bering Sea, the coast of Korea, the North Pacific along the coast of Japan, and the freshwater waters of Canada, Mongolia and Northeast China. Europe's upper class has regarded it as a delicacy since the middle ages.
